What interesting times. Again off the wagon, sort of. Back around March a couple things happen: First, I start up a local branch of the CSG, start swinging swords regularly, and begin developing a student base. Second, I start have some significant dexterity and strength loss in my right hand. Initial review by an ortho was... inconclusive. Last time I was in I got told to take NSAIDs for six weeks and schedule an OR if there was no change, so I bounced. Class is going well, four regular students and a couple floaters.
Recently I went in and had a massage from a licensed Massage Therapist that opened up a lot of tension in my arm and shoulders. I've regained a bit of mobility from that. I also started stretching more regularly (which I would have been doing since March if I wasn't a schmuck). This week I began working out with light clubs, which has exposed new issues in the shoulders. Hopefully these things help.
Started hitting the gym again and noticed significant losses. Some of that has got to be flexibility/mobility related, but I'm still very disappointed. Giving the Y a chance, instead of the basement. It was hard to find a place to Dead, but no one yelled at me so I'll keep going. They also have an assisted pull-up rig, so maybe I'll finally get that down.
